While the peace process in Ukraine is frozen, the negotiations for the normalizations of diplomatic and economic between the US and Russia also have lost momentum \u2013 but the signs already show improved ties between the Donald J. Trump administration and Russia and Belarus.<\/p>\n

Evidence of that is the presence of military observers in the Zapad-2025 joint military exercises between Russia and Belarus.<\/p>\n

The drill commenced on September 12, scheduled to run until September 17.<\/p>\n

The strategic drills will be held across training grounds in both countries, the Baltic Sea, and the Barents Sea, involving up to 13,000 troops, along with aircraft, naval vessels, and advanced weaponry.<\/p>\n

The Telegraph<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\u201cSoldiers from the United States have watched Russian war games, in what Belarus described as a surprise appearance.<\/em><\/p>\n

[\u2026] An American presence at the event would signal a further easing of tensions between Washington and Minsk.<\/em><\/p>\n

The Belarusian defense ministry published a video on Monday that showed two American servicemen as part of an international group of military observers at a training ground. They were greeted by Viktor Khrenin, Belarus\u2019s defense minister, and the two Americans appeared to respond in Russian while shaking hands with the minister.<\/em><\/p>\n

Mr. Khrenin said: \u2018We will show whatever is of interest for you. Whatever you want. You can go there and see, talk to people\u2019.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
